Re: Stopping a thief from taking your truck.
I used to have a time-delay kill switch with a slow burning fuse. They will get it started and get maybe a 100 or 2 foot away and then the whole thing will go dead. What I like about this switch is they will make enough noise to let you know what's going on, but then don't get too far and abandon the vehicle.
For a Hood Lock, I bought a parts truck once and the guy had a Flat Bar about 1" X 1/8" and about 3 Ft Long, attached from under the Hood (near the Hood Latch) and let it drop down to somewhere under the Bumper where he had a Pad Lock. What is nice about this Lock is, with a Wing Nut at the top of it, you can quickly dis-connect the whole thing whenever you want to, like when going to a truck show.
